NeNe Sent Home On “Dancing With The Stars”
NeNe Leakes may be unlikable on the “Real Housewives Of Atlanta,” but we ab-solutely loved her on “Dancing With The Stars.” However, all good things must come to an end. NeNe and her ripped partner Tony were sent home last night after holding it down for 7 weeks. As NeNe noted on the episode, all that were left were athletes and professional dancers so we appreciate and respect how far she went in the competition.
“I’m so proud of myself and I hope I have inspired women all over the world,” she said in her departure speech. “I am so proud of NeNe Leakes!” Her Husband Gregg continued to cheer her on in the audience.
NeNe has been under fire or her diva-like behavior on “RHOA” and recently severed ties with her longtime friend Cynthia.

“Basketball Wives LA” officially ended yesterday with the airing of the season 3 reunion special. If you didn’t tune into VH1 at 8pm last night, you missed a bunch of cursing, a fight, a proposal (and oh…) more cursing. It was pretty ratchet. Draya skipped the entire reunion and answered questions at another location with “Basketball Wives” executive producer Shaunie O’ Neal (there goes those rumor).
Sundy Carter, Brittish, Brandi, Jackie Christie and Malaysia joined former NBA star John Salley (we’re still trying to figure out why he’s the host) to rehash all the drama of this season and things got ugly fast. Brandi and Sundy jumped down each other’s throats immediately. Sundy attempted to apologize for talking about Draya’s son during their infamous eye-blackening brawl and Brandi called her out on it and called her a mistress (because she had a baby by a married man) in the process.
After butting heads several times, Brandi finally had enough of Sunday and charged at her. Sundy armed herself with her nude stiletto. Apparently Sundy had some of her people in the audience because they jumped on stage to attack Brandi. Brittish’s fiance made an appearance on the show to denounce all cheating rumors and propose to her with a larger ring.
Jackie was on her best behavior even though she had a slick back, but all in all the reunion was pretty wack.

Kimye Getting Married This Week
Could it be true? Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are going to get married without a big lavish ceremony? We doubt it, but there’s a rumor buzzing claiming the duo will tie the knot this week without the expected fanfare. According to TMZ, Kimye have obtained a “confidential” marriage license (not so secret is it…) and will have a courthouse-like wedding.
We’re not sure if that means Jay and Bey will attend, but here’s hoping…
Check out Kim’s massive rock:

Nelly’s New Boo Is Mayweather’s Ex-Fiance?
From #WCW to front seat at the game! Nelly was spotted with a new chick court side the Miami Heat Charlotte Bobcats game and guess who is was? Mayweather’s former fiance Shantel Jackson!
Mayweather and Shantel broke up after a tumultous 4-year relationship. “She’s focusing on her career in L.A., which is acting. And I’m focusing on my career, which is boxing. Sometimes people can outgrow one another, but we’re still friends,” Mayweather said in an interview with “All Access.”
That would be all dandy if Shantel hadn’t called the cops on Mayweather on several occasions for domestic violence.
As for Nelly, he recently broke up with supermodel girlfriend Tae Hackerd who he persued a relationship with after spending years with Ashanti.
Nelly and Shantel are probably just having fun, given Mayweather’s track record ain’t that much fun in the world!
Here’s a better pic of the hottie:
UP NEXT: Porsha Williams Explains Her Side Of The Fight
Porsha Williams finally opened up about the infamous hair-pulling brawl between her and Kenya on the “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” reunion special. Porsha stopped by “The View” and dished on the fight that drew in millions of viewers.
Porsha admitted that it was the props that sent her over the top because the duo have gotten into arguments before. “I have to go to court,” she revealed. She doesn’t know if she is going to press charges but noted that Kenya’s statement was “heavy.”
NeNe made a surprise appearance on the show and chimed in on the incident and Porsha’s “I’m so embarrassed” reaction. “I just wanted Porsha to not say nothing else,” NeNe said. “I do feel like she was provoked.”
Porsha called Kenya a “bully” and said, “I watched Sunday’s episode with everybody else, it really did hurt me to hear her say that she thought it was for fun or was a joke.”
Clearly there was nothing fun about the situation.
Are you #TeamPorsha or #TeamKenya?
